A quick check of a couple of other apps I have all behave the same, where ever the cursor is the Find command starts from there, proceeds to the bottom and if there is no instance found they ask if you want to start from the beginning. A couple have a check box in the Find dialogue where you can specify to start the search from the beginning. This would appear to be simple enough to script into LC if it is behaviour that you think is necessary for your particular app:
Surely there is no difference between: set the imaginaryAutoFindFromTop of this stack to true --your find script follows and select before the text of fld 1 your find script follows except the first requires RunRev to devote resources to it and the second doesn't. The LC Find behaviour is quite logical and behaves has described in the Dictionary, although agreed it could be explained better. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
